  • This one has a ground and 2 hots. With 3 wires, it means it has 240v only, but not 120v. [1]
    • See Spruce for difference between 3 wire and 4 wire installation [2]
  • If you only have a 2 conductor + bare ground, mark the bare ground as a neutral and run it to ground. [3]
  • Does a 3-wire 240v circuit have a grounded neutral, or a ground that is neutralized?
